Thirteen new people who say News International hacked their phones have field suit against the company ahead of an approaching deadline. They include Shaun Russell, the father of a young girl who survived being attacked with a hammer while her mother and sister were killed. Sara Payne, whose “Sarah’s law” campaign against pedophiles was a pet project of Rebekah Brooks at News of the World, also sued, along with Princess Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell and pop star Dannii Minogue.
